Description:	Vanilla mod, changing the player's basic weapon. You start with double pistols instead of one, so that you can fire significantly faster, only 50% slower than with the chaingun. It's supposed to improve gameplay balance, since the single pistol normally becomes useless after you find chaingun. The mod is realized via custom sprites and a vanilla compatible DEHACKED patch. Run it along with the IWAD/PWAD you're playing. Also you can feel free to add contents of this mod to your own Doom wad you're making. These dual pistol sprites are not just a mirrored pistol graphic, the shading is fixed so that both pistols have a shadow on the same side. It should make the pistols look more natural, and it's the difference from other dual pistol sprites. If you dislike the fire sound replacement, feel free to remove or replace it. Side effects of this mod (they are given by the restrictions of vanilla DEHACKED): -You always fire both pistols consequently, so that 2 bullets are used. -The chaingun spins and flashes faster now, but gameplay-wise it behaves like a normal chaingun. -SS Nazi has been altered in a couple states, and as a result, he fires a bit faster and shares most of his gibbing animation with shotgun guy, but it's not very noticeable.

Anonymous	Perfect! best vanilla wad/patch I have used in a while!	x
joe-ilya	The fire sound's too loud but the mod's pretty cool and I like how you made the light on the other hand to appear in the same direction. The chaingun is now a minigun! Muhaha!! I would rate this 6/5 for the chaingun replacement.	x
Doomkid	This is a cool vanilla mod, I always loved mods that gave the player 2 pistols. I would have never noticed the SS gib if it wasn't pointed out, not that it matters anyway.	x
mallo	By "not very noticeable" you mean "very really noticeable"? Except that, it's exactly what the title says.	x

Description             : Vanilla mod, changing the player's basic weapon.

You start with double pistols instead of one, so
                          that you can fire significantly faster, only 50%
                          slower than with the chaingun. It's supposed to
                          improve gameplay balance, since the single pistol
                          normally becomes useless after you find chaingun.

The mod is realized via custom sprites and
                          a vanilla compatible DEHACKED patch. Run it along
                          with the IWAD/PWAD you're playing. Also you can
                          feel free to add contents of this mod to your own
                          Doom wad you're making.

These dual pistol sprites are not just a mirrored
                          pistol graphic, the shading is fixed so that both
                          pistols have a shadow on the same side. It should
                          make the pistols look more natural, and it's the
                          difference from other dual pistol sprites.

If you dislike the fire sound replacement, feel
                          free to remove or replace it.

Side effects of this mod (they are given by the
                          restrictions of vanilla DEHACKED):
                          -You always fire both pistols consequently, so
                           that 2 bullets are used.
                          -The chaingun spins and flashes faster now, but
                           gameplay-wise it behaves like a normal chaingun.
                          -SS Nazi has been altered in a couple states, and
                           as a result, he fires a bit faster and shares
                           most of his gibbing animation with shotgun guy,
                           but it's not very noticeable.
